"My Little Pony" is a fun line of toys for girls. It consists of plastic pony toys developed by Bonnie Zacherle of Hasbro, Charles Muenchinger and Steve D'Aguanno. The toys have been produced since 1983.

The toys were just the beginning. Since the initial toy line, "My Little Pony" has led to animated specials, an animated feature length film, and four animated television series. And now My Little Pony coloring pages!

There have been several toy lines, or "generations." The first Earth Ponies were followed by Pegasus Ponies, Unicorn Ponies, Flutter Ponies and Sea Ponies. Generation One lasted until 1992 and is what many people think of when they think of My Little Pony.

The second generation, or Generation Two, was "Friendship Garden Ponies." This lasted until 1999.

Generation Three began in 2003. Generation Three ponies live in Ponyville, which is related to Celebration Castle. Only Earth Ponies were released from 2003 to 2005, but in 2005 and 2006 Pegasus Ponies and Unicorn Ponies were introduced.

We are now in Generation Four. This generation is tied to the tv show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" on The Hub. The featured ponies are Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Spike the Dragon, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna. Twilight Sparkle is the star.

My Little Pony remains extremely popular and is a great activity for many little girls. There are plenty of printable coloring pages here for My Little Pony fans, hopefully you'll find what you want!
